ArtVPS Ltd. announced recently that Shaderlight is now at version 2.4. The rendering plugin for the popular SketchUp modeling software application, that runs on both Mac and Windows, can now render faster and more efficiently.

What’s Better about Shaderlight 2.4

The company is touting that the latest 2.4 version delivers dramatic functional and performance improvements. In tests, Shaderlight 2.4 has reduced its memory usage by up to 90 percent. Export and rendering performance when rendering complex components such as trees from 3D Warehouse or using Replace Me functionality is also dramatically better.

Kate Marshall, Marketing Director at ArtVPS said, “We are always looking for ways we can improve the user experience when rendering with Shaderlight. This latest release which has focusses around the way we use instancing has delivered fantastic results particularly when rendering complex SketchUp scenes.”
